Category Archives: LaunchPad Explorer

Exciting news today – the LaunchPad Explorer has launched on Kickstarter! If you haven’t heard, the LaunchPad Explorer is an educational BoosterPack we designed specifically to complement our tutorials. For more information and to support the project check it out here!

We would like to thank everyone for their support and for all those joined us live for the unveiling of the LaunchPad Explorer! If you were not able to attend the live webinar (or just wan’t to watch it again), check out the recorded copy along with the slides from the presentation

There is only so much we can do in terms of peripherals with our LaunchPad alone. It was designed to mate with a BoosterPack. There are plenty of shields out there, but to cover everything, we would need – well – a lot of shields. Instead I decided to design a BoosterPack specifically tailored to the content you have asked for.

I have officially teamed up with Kevin (see hardware tutorials) to bring you a new BoosterPack that we will be using to cover all the topics for the next while. This board has it all, enough to push our little MSP430G2553 to it’s limits. I won’t tell you much more about it here, but Kevin and I will be unveiling the board at a TI hosted webinar on November 17th, 2015 @ 10:00am (CST). The link to the webinar is:

About

Simply Embedded is a website dedicated to teaching and collaborating on embedded programming projects. All of the projects will be completely free and open source, as will the development tools used. The first series is intended for those who have little experience with embedded software but have a decent understanding of the C programming language. It is a great resource for hobbyists, novice programmers, CS/EE students and hardware designers alike who could benefit from a better understanding of software. I encourage questions and discussions in the comments section and will be available to provide guidance along the way. The projects will be as real-world and practical as possible. The goal is to provide you with knowledge that is applicable to other projects and platforms.
